granted i dont always take my own advice but when i am feeling anxious i first try to regulate my breathing and slow things down a bit, good relaxing breaths seem to even things out a bit for me. then i try to realize that the symptoms of panic are not harmful(they are uncomfortable)and i will be able to get through them. often the symptoms of panic bring on more panic so i try to really focus on the physical and try to relax. then i try to disprove the thoughts that are now associating themselves with the phycsical symptoms. i know when i start paniccing all kinds of thoughts role through my mind i start dounting myself and everyhting seems to get worse, but i try to disprove those thoughts, the worry about the future. the money problems, relationship, work or whatever is getting to you, look at them and just talk them out, i just disprove(logically) the irrational thoughts. i say i try to do this because with me i am a worrier by nature so i dont always follow these sometmes i just freak out, but it takes practice, it takes alot of practice and thats why we are all here. thats why there are forums like this because if everyone knew what to do there would be none of the ****py panic. we are all just try to cope thats all we can ask of ourselves is to try, sometime we have the good days sometimes not toso good but we keep on.
